Personnel and the Ergonomic Office

Personnel are the single most important asset of any business - a business in the care industry which is established to meet the needs of dependent people is even more reliant than most on the quality and performance of those it employs.

There is guidance in the form of National Minimum Standards on various issues relating to staffing - recruitment, training, supervision, as well as care home management and administration - please click here to access our legislation section.

Health and safety at work is a huge topic - this section aims to provide some useful links to further reading and advice, as well as commonsense suggestions for employers who are looking for ways to ensure that they discharge their duty of care towards employees.

Ergonomic office furniture, office chairs, computer desks, footrests and other solutions to help reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injury and stress-related problems are included.

Our accessible computing area looks at ways to avoid and manage RSI (repetitive strain injury), alternative input devices, and ways to manage computing if you have visual impairments or reduced mobility or dexterity.
